Did you know that the firefly spends its first 2 years of life underground When it finally takes flight, it lives for only 21 days, lighting up the summer night sky in golden splendor. Based on the original song by Anne Buckle, Firefly takes us on a magical journey that encourages us to take flight, shine our light, and make the most of our days, just like the fireflies.
